If you count the number of packages in SmalltalkHub and compare them to the ones in Npmjs.org, it is impressive how much we have. But isn't "package" more like "repository" on smalltalkhub?
It is a Project, but on the explore screen it says Packages, so... who knows? :)
But it is true that GitHub is to SmalltakHub what npm/gem is to...?
No. GitHub and SmalltalkHub are repositories. Rubygems for Ruby (or clojars for Clojure, or CPAN for Perl) - are like SqueakMap - catalogs that point to packages/applications.
IHMO, we don't need SqueakMap anymore. If we have ConfigurationOfXXX packages for each project and a different repositories for each Pharo distribution (like the one we have already in SqueakSource), I guess we are very close to the service proposed by SqueakMap.
